Charley2020 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 Ok. I had only on HD, so i installed my new win xp with all drivers, test programs ect etc etc... on it. Now i got two nice raptors. These will be my first Raid 0 and i like it to be the main HD. How the Hell do i get all the stuff and my perfecly running WinXP to the Raid system? My Idea: . 1. Enable raid in Bios 1a. Start Computer and install raid drivers. Shutdown. 1b. Connect the 2 Raptors to SATA 1&2. The Old one to SATA3. Start and switch 2 Bios 2. Set boot order to the old disk. 3. start windows from old disk. 3a. Hopefully see a Harddisk E: (c: is the old, d: is the dvdram) 4. run Norton Ghost 10.0 (i have that one) and copy the old Disk to the new e: 5. Switch everything off. Disconnect the old HD 6. Start Computer and set Boot order to the Raid System 6a. Hopfully start Win XP as if nothing happened Do You think i can do it that way? Or are there any difficulties to expect?

red930 Posted November 7, 2006 Posted November 7, 2006 You will have the best chance at success if you perform a clean OS install to the new array in your situation. Ghost works for some while most seem to have luck with Acronis. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charley2020 Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 Ok. Next Problem. Setup: Raptor 1 at SATA3 Raptor 2 at SATA4 Main Boot HD at SATA 1 Bios: SATA 1&2 enabled SATA 3&4 Enabled Boot from "old Disk" RAID at SATA 1 disabled RAID at SATA 2 disabled RAID at SATA 3 enabled RAID at SATA 4 enabled Raid utility: Made a healthy Raid with both Raptors. Looks normal. Did NOT set to Boot! ----------------- Booting starts normal into Windows. Looking into Device Manager, i can see both Raptors ?!?! Shouldn´t there be only one "Raid Thing"? I dont know how thois Menue "Computerverwaltung" is in english... the Menu where you can format an integrate new harddisks to the system... there a although two Harddisks... WTF I would like to see just 1. withe the space of two. Anyone an Idea Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Juggalo_X Posted November 10, 2006 Posted November 10, 2006 ghost works great if you mod the autoexec to give the ghost.exe these triggers /if /fro Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
